Google Assistant. This week Google organized the annual I/O conference, and during it presented a series of very important news for the personal assistant that is integrated into the Android operating system, and not only that. The first important change is related to the artificial intelligence behind Google Assistant, the American company managing to reduce the size of its files from 100 GB to only 0.5 GB, to integrate it directly into phones, without storing it in its servers.

Thanks to this technological evolution, Google will allow users to use the personal assistant much faster, interacting with it in real time on phones, practically eliminating network latency. Google Assistant becomes so quickly satisfied with this change, that the CEO of Google claims that the simple activation will seem much slower than the answers it offers to the questions made by users.
Google Assistant. MASSIVE upgrade that makes Siri FORGOTTEN
Google Assistant. The speed with which the personal assistant responds is extremely important, and this is because Siri, in contrast, needs the Internet to interpret the commands through Apple's servers, which makes it a bit slow. This change in the operating speed of Google Assistant also allows for faster multitasking between applications, something that many phone users do on a regular basis, so the novelties offered are extremely important.
Google has made a breakthrough in deep learning techniques and has managed to condense and combine that 100GB of models down to just half a gigabyte (0.5GB). That's small enough to fit onto mobile devices, allowing them to run the algorithms locally, thereby drastically reducing network latency. It's so fast, Pichai quipped, that it makes tapping your phone to activate Assistant seem slow.
Google Assistant. Apart from the increase in speed, the personal assistant learns much better from our preferences and searches, learning to make recommendations closer to our desires. Google Assistant is already superior to Siri when it comes to interpreting voice commands, so Google didn't have much to improve here, but even so, the Americans managed to make their software even better than many people expected.
Google Assistant. Apart from these, there are other important news, some of which are available right now through Google servers, others will be available in the future.
